Wednesday is Veterans Day and Social Security is reminding veterans of the very small gesture they are taking to make sure the people who risk their lives for our country are properly taken care of.

Jack Myers with Social Security reminds anyone who knows a wounded veteran to visit ssa.gov/woundedwarriors. But he is also reminding veterans any disability claims they submit are immediately expedited to the front of the line. 

According to Myers, there is a difference between benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Social Security as the two have different applications.
